Hi there, thank you for posting your question. Unfortunately, your husband is in a very difficult situation and there probably isn't going to be any good solution for him. He has several issues. First, he entered the U.S. illegal which means he cannot adjust his status. Secondly, he remained in the U.S. for several years so he has accumulated sufficient unlawful presence to be barred from returning for 10 years. Finally, he is now in removal proceedings and has been charged with a crime. The best thing you can do in this situation is hire a good immigration attorney in your area who specializes in deportation and removal. There is probably nothing the attorney will be able to do to keep your husband in the U.S. but it is still important that he have representation to minimize the impact the proceedings could have on his chances to return to the U.S. lawfully in the future.

I do not handle deportation and removal cases but cancellation of removal is a form of relief that may be available to your husband. This can only be granted to 4,000 people each year and the standard to obtain this relief is pretty high. In addition to having to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to you, he also has to show continuous presence in the U.S. for at least 10 years and good moral character for 10 years. This relief is very hard to obtain and may be nearly impossible in light of the arrest for domestic violence. You need to consult with an experienced deportation attorney.
